i-ii-i'n' IIAS A CHANGE or MIND
Iiha bigoted you'll always find Haa never learned to change hi: i mind.
-Old Mother Nature.
There are people who "can't ehange their minds. They are to be pitted. Yes. sir. they are to be pitied. One who is unable to rhange his mind never can gain rnowledgeand wisdom. Often a thange of mind is as necessary as I change of air in a closed room. K mind that can not be changed is I closed mind.
Peter Rabbit isn't that kind of a Version. In fact he is just the op- tosite. He is too happy-go-lucky lot to change his mind. ljle is apt, 0 change it too often. Happy- go-. ucky folks are just like that. I
Peter. squatting with his cousin. lumper the Hare. under a big riemlock bough beside the Crook-. -d Little Path in the Green Fore:-2.3 was watching Unc' Billy Possuml
i
and a big Dog who had picked him up and had shaken him. Unc' Billy looked to be dcad. Poteri knew that he wasnii couldn't believe that Unc' Billy' was acting. He couldn't believe. .hta anyone could keep lrom mov-A Eng unless he was too scared to, nove. He was sure that Unc' Bil- .,v was so scared he couldn't move f he wanted to. On the other sand. Jumper knew better and mid ao. g
"Just you keep your eyes on Llnc' Billy and you'll have a mango of mind.,said Jumper.
So Peter kept his eyes on Unc' Billy Possum. Once when that Dog had turned his back on Unc' Billy Peter thought he saw one of '.Jnc' Billy's eyes open for just a ieconcl. Then when it didn". hap- oen again he thought he was mis- aken. The big Dog picked up Unc' Billy once more and half-heath -dly shook him. Then he tossed iiim to one side. He fell close to the hemlock bough under which Peter and Jumper were squat- ting. Unc' Billy lay Just as he fell. I-Ila head was almost under the hemlock bough ,
Pete couldn”t be sure he thought thud. Unc' Billy winked. Then Unc' Billy was so still for so long that he thought that he must be mis- taken. Anyway. how could Uncl Billy have winked if he was so scared he couldn't move?
The Dog lost interest. He turn- ed his back on Uncl Billy. He. he- aan to sniff around to sqe.il he could find someone else. Fe-ter be- gan to grow nervous. What if that
og should poke his head under that big hemlock bough?
The Dog wandered down the Crooked Little Pat-h just a little way. Then he stopped as if unde- cided whether to go on or to stay. He stopped and tried to bite a flea in his back. Then he looked back at Unc' Billy. Rather. he looked back at where Unc' Billy had been, He wasn't there. No. sir. Unc' Billy wasn't there. The Dog name back. Heiwas beginning to be excited. He ran about, sniffing hero and snltting there. Finally lie poked his head under that big tough beneath which Peter and lirmper were hiding. They left. llhey left in a hurry. They leftvin two directions. The Dog started to chase Peter. He had forgotten ill about Unc' Billy Possum.
Where was Unc' Billy? While Petie-r- was running one way and Jumper the Hare was running an- other way, and the Dog was get- tlng more and more excited. Unc' Billy was climbing that hemlock tree. He didn't climb far. only just high enough to be out reach of that Dog. He was grinning. Unc' Billy Possum likes to grin. Some- times he seems to be grinning
when he is playing dead as it he.
is enjoying his own joke.
"Ah done fool that Dawg this time." chuckled Unc' Billy. "Ah is right. glad that Dawg don' like
dead tihings. Now if it had been.
Bi-er Fox. Ah would have been really acai-ed.”
Meanwhile Peter was having to try all his tricks to get rid of that

but he. C
"Ah done fool that Dawg this time.” chuckled Unc' Billy.
kDog. When at last he succeeded he
' was quite out of breath. He squat- r icd in a bamble tangle whei'e he i was safe, and there he thought
things over. "I guess Cousin Jumper was right." thought he. "Unc' Billy wasnt as scared as l thought he was. He wasn't too scared to move when he had the nco."

Contract Bridge
By Josephine Culbertson .r-unuuolcoooonnononunanoou A MAITEK OF ALTERNATIVES
South would have been wiser to stop at a small?slam contract in today's deal-either that. or he should have played the Cards 3 little beittei'.'
though not really bed. was quest- innable because he had only the K-4 01 P3l'lner's spade suit. How- ever. when South learned via the Blackwood convention that North had two aces and only two kings. South should have realized that the grand slam might not be en- iirely safe. and thus he might well have contented himself with a vulnerable amall slam.
As it happened. however. North's precise holding was ex- cellent for South. and when West opened the diamond ten. declarer was relieved of worry in that suit. After a moment's thought. 'he drew the outstanding trumps. cashed the top club suit made it impossible to establish a long trick. with only the diamond ace remaining in dummy as entry. and the result was a one-trick defeat.
Presumably. South was afraid to cash two rounds of clubs be- fore drawing trumps. because he felt that an opponent might be very short in clubs and mil in. it this was Souths reasoning. however. it was fallnclous. A place to discard South's losing heart was urgently required. and the entry situation in dummy was obvious. Thus. it. was imperative to cash dummy's top clubs and ruff a club before the spade king was used up, so that a second club rut! could be made without prema- turely taking out - the diamond RC9.
